Finally free ride again

The offices in the container facilities are almost empty, only the asphalt is being renewed at the Holledau service area. After a good six months of continuous operation on the construction site between the Neufahrn junction and the Holledau triangle, things are now much more relaxed: traffic is once again unrestricted, and at peak times the hard shoulder can now also be used as a fourth lane. This significantly reduces the risk of traffic jams on the busy route. Take a deep breath - both for the drivers and for project manager Günter Graf, who looks after the construction site and can look back on exhausting, but above all successful weeks.

Filigree steel bridge construction with record height

There are still no vehicles in the Hochsauerlandkreis that roll over the Schlebornbach at a height of 115 metres. But already now the valley bridge Nuttlar, North Rhine-Westphalia's highest bridge structure, presents itself in impressive elegance. Nestled gracefully in the landscape, it is part of the 5.6-kilometer-long new section of the Autobahn 46 - and a masterpiece of impressive engineering: because the more beautiful a bridge is, the more elaborate its construction usually is.

The new ICE line has arrived in Ulm

One last rumble under the Michelsberg was heard when the two excavator milling machines were eating their way through the last piece of rock in mid-November 2016. Dust fountains whirled up, then it was done. To the applause of about 450 guests from politics and business, a seven-minute laser show finally announced the light at the end of the tunnel. The Albabstiegstunnel has officially been breached.

First deployment of FF Bögl in Israel

On the historic railway route from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which dates back to the Ottoman period, the journey now takes one and a half hours. From mid-2018, modern high-tech trains on Israel's first high-speed line will reduce the journey time between the two largest metropolises to one third.

Fit for another 100 years.

Without him, there would be neither Wacker Chemie AG in Burghausen nor any other industry in today's Bavarian chemical triangle east of Munich. But since its completion in 1922, the Alzkanal, the lifeline of the district of Altötting, has grown old.

Bigger, faster, safer.

Severe weathering, water ingress and frost damage in winter: After more than 160 years of operation, southern Bavaria's only railway tube, the Oberstaufen Tunnel, had to be completely renewed. In the 1980s, rehabilitation with shotcrete was to stop the impending decay. But the ravages of time continued to gnaw on the building. Now the tunnel builders of the Max Bögl Group gave the ailing patient a modern fresh cell cure.

Complex construction above and under water.

Max Bögl has been active in the Netherlands for almost 18 years with its operational headquarters in Amsterdam. Together with local partners, we have realised a large number of challenging major infrastructure and building construction projects during this time. In addition to tunnels and underground garages, outstanding construction projects include the shell of the three underground stations and the Fletcher Hotel in Amsterdam, the new construction of the Hanzeboog IJssel Bridge near Zwolle and the Stadsbrug Nijmegen across the Waal. Max Bögl Nederland was awarded the German-Dutch Business Prize and the Dutch Steel Construction Prize twice for the construction of the two bridges.

25 years for four hours.

Over ten billion euros in construction costs, 25 years of planning and construction time: With the opening of Europe's largest and most expensive rail project, the Berlin-Munich high-speed line, Germany has been moving closer together since the end of last year. Thanks to a record travel time of just under four hours, from city centre to city centre, Deutsche Bahn wants to inspire travellers and encourage them to change from airplanes to trains.

The art of building bridges.

Max Bögl is one of the big names in the industry when it comes to the realisation of technically and architecturally sophisticated bridges. The task of overcoming a seemingly insurmountable obstacle - whether river or valley - has always been both a fascination and a challenge. Accompany the bridge construction specialists of the company group on a foray through the most modern engineering art with the latest construction techniques.

Against the background of the restructuring of the entire hospital landscape and the associated large number of attractive construction projects, Max Bögl succeeded in entering the Danish construction market at the end of 2013 by winning the contract for the shell of the first construction phase at the new university hospital in Århus.
